Chapter 17

Ye Yunzhou said coldly, "Since you don't want me to know, wouldn't it be annoying if I kept asking?"

As if sensing her confusion, he stopped, turned around, and looked down at the delicate face that was looking up at him. His throat tightened before he spoke, "My mother is in charge of most of the cloth shop business, so it's fine for me not to ask about it. Besides, if there's a need, Manager Fang will naturally not go beyond my mother's instructions, and there's no need to inform me of everything."

After hearing what he said, Luo Shuiyao finally nodded in understanding, but she still admired Ye Yunzhou immensely. If for nothing else, it was because of Ye Yunzhou's ability to restrain himself from asking even though he could easily know the truth.

She certainly couldn't do it herself. After all, it was the nature of the flower-growing family to love gossip. If someone was hiding something from her, and if she had the ability to easily find out the truth, she would definitely not be able to help but find out.

"That's it!"

Luo Shuiyao looked at him with sparkling eyes, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Are you going to Kyoto too?"

Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "I'm new to Kyoto and I'm not familiar with the place. Do you know of any teahouses or restaurants suitable for entertaining guests in Kyoto?

"Entertaining guests? You're a young woman, arriving in Kyoto for the first time. What guests do you need to entertain?"

"You!" Luo Shuiyao blinked and said in a light tone.

"What?" Ye Yunzhou suspected that he had heard it wrong and asked uncertainly.

"I just want to treat you as a guest."

She stretched out her hand, pretending to be innocent as she counted on her fingers, and said, "You helped me catch the bad guys, lent me money, and this time you helped me piss off that bullying black lady."

Look, she stretched out three fingers and shook them at him and said, "You've helped me so much, it's not too much for me to treat you to a meal."

Ye Yunzhou looked at her slender jade-like fingers, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Not too much."

"Well, we have a deal. I will treat you to a meal when we get to Kyoto. You are not allowed to cheat!" She looked at him mischievously, her eyes full of happiness.

Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou couldn't help but laugh, and then a soft look flashed in his eyes, and he replied softly: "Okay, it's a deal."

Luo Shuiyao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then answered seriously: "It's a deal."

As she spoke, she smiled brightly.

"Miss," Du Juan waited outside the hall for a long time. She clearly heard her young lady's voice, but she didn't come out.

She held the bag in her arms and carefully leaned out to see her young lady standing and talking with the handsome young man. They were standing so close that it seemed as if the young man could kiss her young lady if he just lowered his head.

Dujuan stuck out her tongue, chuckled and said, "I'm fine, nothing happened," then she retracted her head.

However, through the slanting sunlight, you can clearly see the figure on the ground, and you can see her shadow leaning towards the door with her head tilted.

Seeing her like this, Luo Shuiyao shook her head with a smile. Then she asked Ye Yunzhou softly: "Then, where should we choose to meet?"

Ye Yunzhou pondered for a moment and said, "How about choosing March 15th, noon, Ruyi Tea House?

Okay, I'll listen to you, Luo Shuiyao nodded. She naturally had no objection. After all, she didn't know where to entertain guests in Kyoto.

"Well..., I'll be leaving first. See you on March 15th." Luo Shuiyao bowed slightly to him, then turned and walked towards where Dujuan was.

After the master and servant disappeared, Ye Yi walked behind his own prince and said respectfully, "Prince, the Marquis has told us that we no longer need to escort Miss Luo and that we should return to the capital as soon as possible."

Ye Yunzhou frowned, then relaxed after a moment, "Okay," he replied in a deep voice, raising his chin slightly, his eyes instantly returning to their usual coldness.

"Miss, who was that young man just now?"

As they walked along, Du Juan's face was filled with confusion, and she hesitated several times to speak to Luo Luo and Shui Yao. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, and she opened her mouth slightly several times, but she didn't know where to start. Finally, she couldn't help but ask.

Luo Shuiyao glanced at her, her lips curled up slightly. She said slowly, "It's just a golden thigh."

Du Juan was even more puzzled. Her brows furrowed, and she asked in confusion, "Golden thigh? What does that mean?"

Luo Shuiyao didn't answer her, but walked ahead cheerfully. Her steps were light, and the sunlight shining on her body added a touch of gentleness to her.

Through this incident, Luo Shuiyao not only became closer to Ye Yunzhou, but more importantly, it was a chance for her to schedule a meeting with him next time. She secretly thought that with a few more interactions, she could change his impression of her.

She knew very well how important Ye Yunzhou was. If one day she could not change everything and it came to that end, this man should at least be able to protect her.

The master and servant, clutching their bundles, trotted towards the inn. Despite their haste, they were still half an incense stick's worth of time late. Steward Zhang, standing beside the carriage, eagerly awaited their arrival. He immediately approached them. "Miss Luo, you're finally back! I was just about to go look for you!"

Luo Shuiyao smiled, apologized to him repeatedly, then turned around and saluted everyone in the caravan.

It's my daughter, not mine. I want to apologize to all of you, brothers. I hope you will forgive me once for all. She nodded at Dujuan, who immediately understood. She picked up a bundle and brought it to the caravan.

This is what my young lady has specially selected for you gentlemen. I hope you will not dislike it. The leading man took the bundle, touched the warm contents inside, and could even smell a faint fragrance.

The corners of his mouth lifted up into a smile. "It's okay. It didn't delay anything. Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around, mounted the horse, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and walked forward.

Seeing that the people in the caravan looked much better, Luo Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief. She took another bundle from Du Juan and handed it to Manager Zhang.

"This is for you, the boss, and all the guards. Thank you for your hard work along the way." After saying that, he bowed slightly and got on the carriage.

Outside the carriage

Zhang looked at the bundle in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. This Miss Luo was not only beautiful, but also spoke to them in a gentle and polite voice, showing that she was well-educated and well-mannered, and she was worthy of being a lady in a marquis's mansion.

In the original novel, the original owner disliked the bumpy ride in the carriage, and she treated Manager Zhang and others very badly. These guards were basically children born in the Marquis' Mansion, and their relationships in the mansion were complicated. As soon as the original owner arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, her unruly and unreasonable behavior spread throughout the mansion.

As a result, in the original novel, the owner of the Yuan Dynasty was isolated and helpless in the Marquis' Mansion. No one in the mansion respected her, and the servants pretended to obey her but did not do any real work, causing her to suffer a lot.

Later, she was seen beating and scolding the servants, and her reputation in Kyoto became even worse. In contrast, the heroine who was kind to the servants became more famous.
